The former Florida attorney general is a longtime ally of the president-elect after first endorsing him in 2016.
Republicans seem relieved they won't have to vote on whether Gaetz should be attorney general.
At least four of Trump’s nominations have been accused of sexual misconduct ranging from harassment to assault and rape.
One of them testified he had sex with an underage girl, the attorney told ABC News.
The incoming president doesn't seem to care if his nominees can't win Senate confirmation.
Ex-Pence staffer Olivia Troye said making the Florida congressman the attorney general was akin to "putting the Hamburglar in charge of McDonald's security."
Gaetz is a Trump defender who has faced investigations over his own personal conduct.
The former president allowed himself to be nominated for the position. But he only received one vote, from Representative Matt Gaetz.
The House adopted a resolution by Representative Matt Gaetz to vacate the speakership, leaving the chamber leaderless.
The 73-year-old president recently interacted with at least three lawmakers who’ve since put themselves under self-quarantine.
